A Monster of Voices
For more than two decades, Robert H. Waugh has been one of the most penetrating scholars of the work and thought of H. P. Lovecraft. His earlier volume, The Monster in the Mirror (2006), contained a treasury of essays that displayed Waugh's exhaustive knowledge of Lovecraft's work and his skill in placing Lovecraft in a broader literary context. This new collection of essays cements Waugh's reputation as a pioneering Lovecraft scholar. Among the contributions are studies of the influence of World War I on "The Rats in the Walls"; Lovecraft's relationship to his two late colleagues, Robert Bloch and Fritz Leiber, as well as to such other writers as D. H. Lawrence, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Eugene O'Neill; the influence of Roman literature and history on Lovecraft; and the sublimated eroticism of "The Thing on the Doorstep" and "Medusa's Coil." All in all, this volume, containing several previously unpublished essays, displays the inexhaustible depths of Lovecraft's writing and Robert H. Waugh's deftness in probing its intricacies.
A Monster for Many
In the 1990s, Robert H. Waugh-now Emeritus Professor of English at the State University of New York at New Paltz-emerged as one of the most profound and learned commentators on H. P. Lovecraft. He has brought to the study of the Providence writer a deep knowledge of literature in English, French, Latin, and other languages, and a sensitivity to the complex nuances found in Lovecraft's literary work. This third volume of his essays continues the pattern of his earlier books, The Monster in the Mirror and A Monster of Voices. Here we have studies of Lovecraft's use of the imagery of wells in "The Colour out of Space"; the cosmic history of alien species in At the Mountains of Madness and "The ...
The Tragic Thread in Science Fiction
For decades, Robert H. Waugh has been a scintillating critic of fantasy, horror, and science fiction. A leading analyst of H. P. Lovecraft, Waugh now brings his critical talents to the assessment of an array of fantasy and science fiction writers, past and present. In a trilogy of essays, Waugh studies David Lindsay's pioneering novel A Voyage to Arcturus (1920), probing its relations to the work of Goethe and its distinctive vocabulary. Two essays discuss the largely ignored work of Olaf Stapledon, while another pair of essays examine key novels by Arthur C. Clarke. Subsequent pieces reveal Waugh's acumen in analyzing the work of William Gibson (Neuromancer), the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stor...
Lovecraft and Influence
Recognized as a major innovator in the weird story, H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an author whose influence was felt by nearly every writer of horror, fantasy, and science fiction in the second half of the twentieth century. Considered one of the leading writers of gothic horror, Lovecraft and his work continue to inspire writers today. In Lovecraft and Influence: His Predecessors and Successors, Robert H. Waugh has assembled essays that are vast in scope, ranging from the Bible through the Edwardian period and well into the present. This collection is devoted to authors whose work had an impact on Lovecraft—Alexander Pope, Jonathan Swift, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allan Poe, and Lord Dunsany—and those who drew inspiration from him, including William S. Burroughs, Ramsey Campbell, Thomas Ligotti, and Stephen King. A fascinating anthology, Lovecraft and Influence will appeal to aficionados of classic horror, fantasy, and science fiction and those with an interest in modern authors whose works reflect and honor Lovecraft’s enduring legacy.
The Bloody Tugboat and Other Witcheries
Robert H. Waugh, a leading critic and scholar of weird, fantasy, and science fiction, has in the past decade quietly demonstrated his skill as a weird fictionist of luminous prose and powerful supernatural concepts. This first collection of his tales exhibits the wide range of his talents, containing such gems as "The Hot Tub Horror," telling of the bizarreries a man finds in a jacuzzi; "Yet Here's a Spot," where anomalous and ever-moving spots appear on a man's body; "Mr. Hoffman's Cat," about a mysterious feline and its even more mysterious owner; "Playing with Fire," a story of psychological aberration about a pyromaniac; and the title story, a riveting tale of sea horror. Waugh is partic...
